After a promotion to a full-time assistant coach earlier this season, former crowd favorite Molly Davis is on the move.
Davis was a key piece on Iowa's back-to-back National Championship appearances in 2023 and 2024 alongside superstar Caitlin Clark.
Before joining the coaching ranks, Davis had a stellar collegiate career at Iowa and Central Michigan, tallying 1,765 points, 502 assists, and 473 rebounds over five seasons.
After helping the Evansville Purple Aces to a runner-up MVC finish, she is officially on the move.
Davis immediately strenthens EKU's coaching staff next season
Davis spent the past two seasons as a graduate assistant and an assistant coach for Evansville, and after a successful two-year run, she is headed south to Kentucky.
A proven winner at every stop 🤩

Eastern Kentucky University announced that Davis was added as an assistant coach on the women's basketball staff, led by head coach Greg Todd.
It was easy to see why Eastern Kentucky wanted her as her resume speaks for itself.
Davis has extensive collegiate playing experience and has been a winner at every stop she has made, including narrowly missing out on two titles with the Hawkeyes.
She has been a starter, a reserve, and now a coach, which gives her a unique perspective on the sidelines.
EKU finished with a 21-12 overall record last season and did not make the NCAA Tournament, but with Davis on board, the program has high hopes for next season.
Legendary former Iowa women's basketball head coach Lisa Bluder praised the hire, calling it "a great move by Eastern Kentucky University."
EKU got a good one, and Davis should immediately inject some energy into the program.
